Headwinds had me riding slow. I had no power, couldn't even spin. I could not figure out what was going on. It was going to be a long day. 30 minutes later the front tire finally went flat. I had forgotten to twist the valve closed and the air had slowly leaked out. I didn't realize it at the time though. I went to replace the tube and found that my spare was a previous flat.....
What now? Co2 and ride to Epic Cycles in Black Mountain. The tube held but I replaced it anyway. It was cold, drizzly and windy. I wanted to go to Old Fort to feel some warmth, but it looked like rain. I cut the ride short.
At the Eastern Continental Divide on Hwy 9 there was still snow, and wind and drizzle for shizzle my nizzle.
And of course I found a gravel road to ride on.
